**■ Kaf** The virtual singer where "KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO" began. Debuting in 2018 at the age of 14, she started her activities using a 3D-modeled avatar without revealing her true face. In a field where diverse expressions continue to be born, she has established an artist image with a one-of-a-kind singing voice and worldview. Her various collaborations in the "Kumikyoku" (Suite) project became a hot topic, and she currently has over 1 million YouTube subscribers and over 300 million total views. She boasts an enthusiastic fan community both domestically and internationally. The songs created with Iori Kanzaki, her main composer since the beginning of her career, have received high acclaim, and in August 2022, she held her solo live concert "Fukakai San (Kyo)" at the Nippon Budokan. In January 2024, she held her 4th ONE-MAN LIVE "Kaika" at the Yoyogi National Stadium First Gymnasium, marking what could be called the dawn of her second chapter. Following the Budokan, she succeeded in her first arena performance, breaking the record for the largest solo performance by a virtual singer. She is currently striving to cross the boundaries between virtual and real as a standard for next-generation artist activities.

**■ What is AWA Lounge?** It is an online space where users can enjoy sharing music and interacting with each other in real-time. Using the "Song Request," "Chat," and "Stamp" features, users entering the same room can experience something similar to an online karaoke room. All features can be enjoyed even on the Free plan. Also, because all users in the lounge listen to the same music at the same time, a major characteristic is that it can be used as a place to "support" favorite artists by boosting their play counts. Participating in a lounge as a STANDARD member returns even more to the artist.
